tutlent Council to tem' An active and competent slate of Student Body officers led the NHS Student Body through a lively and progressive year. The Student Council membership included school leaders who represented their various classes and organizations. The council Worked on several new ideas. Those adopted were: xdding a Homecoming game and dance during he football season, changing the carnival from November to March, and increasing member- ship by including representatives from several organizations. Those applying for membership who were accepted included Honor Society, FHA, Pep Club, and Girls' League. Since the Student Body Consti- tution did not include regulations for the Student Council, the coun- cil undertook the project of writing a constitution related entirely to its own organization. The Student Council was led by President Lee Versteeg, Vice Presi- dent Iim Bailey, Secretary Marilyn Bauer, Sergeant-at-arms Rich Cris- ler, Treasurer Mike Hanson, and Assistant-Treasurer Errold Burch.

The faculty not only promoted further education but also served as advisers by donating their time to the students' extracurricular activi- ties, An introductory coffee hour, held in the early fall, began a series of faculty gatherings which continued throughout the year. The faculty dressed as ghosts, goblins, or as a song title and gathered for an even- ing of fun at a costume party on Halloween. On December 13, the facul- ty met for a Christmas party, with fun, refreshments and exchange of gifts. A social committee consisting of Lincoln, Central, and High School teachers conducted the social gatherings, which gave the teach- ers from the three schools an opportunity to become better acquainted.
